The Possessor Mistook the Genre for 20 Years - Chapter 107



106 – The Two Women’s Affection-Raising Strategy

Could it be that the Grand Chief is a lower position than the Chief?

He had refused the position of Chief, so they wouldn’t have given him a higher position.

Yes, in the elves’ language, the Grand Chief must be a lower position than the Chief. Roughly equivalent to a priest?

‘That can’t be right…’

It was all just his wishful thinking, so Franz sighed deeply.

In his heart, he wanted to immediately submit his resignation, saying, ‘I resign as Grand Chief.’ But he couldn’t actually do that. The elves had already accepted him as the Grand Chief and were overjoyed.

What would happen if he said he wouldn’t be the Grand Chief in this situation? The atmosphere would surely turn awkward and tense.

In the end, he had no choice but to accept the position of Grand Chief.

As Franz lamented, they were getting closer to the elves’ dwelling.

When they arrived, other elves would surely approach him with bright smiles, calling him Grand Chief.

‘Well, if you can’t avoid it, you might as well enjoy it.’

They say that those who cry when it’s hard are third-rate, those who endure are second-rate, and those who laugh are first-rate.

‘But honestly, that sounds crazy…’

What kind of lunatic laughs when things are tough? No matter how he thought about it, it didn’t seem normal.

Wait, come to think of it, Yuna used to laugh even more when things were tough….

‘Well, she was actually having a hard time back then.’

As Franz thought this, they were already at the doorstep of the elves’ dwelling.

As they entered, Arian looked around in wonder and said,

“Wow, so this is how the houses are. Tower Master, isn’t it incredibly romantic? I wouldn’t mind living in a place like this.”

“Well, it would be fun.”

How often does one get to live in a house that has become one with the trees? It would certainly be somewhat enjoyable.

But there were too many drawbacks to living in such a place with such a light-hearted mindset.

Even to buy a single item, it would take several days of walking, and since it’s a forest, there are many insects, so if you turn on the light at night, you might enjoy a wild party with mosquitoes and moths. Moreover, the house is surrounded by giant trees, so sunlight doesn’t reach it well.

It’s full of romance, but it falls far short of the standards of the 21st century as a residence.

It was then.

“Oh my, the Great Chief?”

“Really? It’s the Great Chief.”

The elves who discovered Franz widened their eyes.

In their hands were baskets full of grass, as if they had just returned from the fields.

“How have you been?”

Franz gave them a light smile.

It was his first greeting as the Great Chief.

“Thanks to you, we’ve been doing well without any major problems. Now, the Great Forest has completely regained its former appearance.”

“Oh, by the way, if you have any business, should we call the Chief for you?”

It’s a relief that they’re doing well.

Franz thought so and shook his head.

“I’ll go find Hera myself. You can go about your business.”

“Yes, then we’ll be off first.”

“We’ll be off-!”

The elves bowed their heads and left.

Franz watched their backs and sighed in relief. Being called the Great Chief made him unnecessarily nervous, things that were usually nothing started to bother him.

It seems the saying that the position makes the person is true.

Anyway, now to go to Hera….

“Wow-! It’s Franz, floating Franz!”

“Floating Franz!”

Just as Franz was about to take a step, he heard voices. When he turned his head, there were little elves.

Perhaps they had helped the adults who had passed by earlier, the little elves were covered in dirt.

The little ones, laughing brightly, ran over and hugged Franz’s legs tightly.

Although his clothes got a little dirty, Franz didn’t mind. Instead, he gently patted their heads.

“Have you been well?”

“Yes! I’ve been eating well, and I’ve grown taller!”

“I’ve grown too!”

The children took a step back from Franz, puffed out their chests, and showed off proud expressions. They seemed eager to boast about their height.

Compared to adults who envy and are jealous of each other, their actions were truly pure.

“Then, since you’ve grown taller, you can’t ride the floating bubble anymore?”

“Huh…? If you grow, you can’t float…?”

“Actually, that’s a lie! I haven’t grown!”

At Franz’s words, the children’s faces hardened as if they were shocked.

Of course, Franz was joking. No matter how much the kids grew, even if they became adults, he could still let them ride the floating bubble.

Snap-.

When Franz snapped his fingers, a transparent sphere lifted the children into the air.

“Wow-!”

“It’s floating-!”

The children smiled brightly and moved around inside the transparent sphere.

Seeing this, Franz also smiled.

Arian, who was watching from a distance, felt that Franz’s appearance was both new and awkward.

She knew he liked children since he was good to Marcel as well.

But she didn’t know he was the chief of the elves, nor that he had such a deep bond with them.

When she first started liking him, he was just a successful wizard. How did he end up like this? In the blink of an eye, he became the master of the tower, then the holy father, and now the chief of the elves.

Of course, it wasn’t exactly in the blink of an eye, but it was still a long time.

Anyway, watching him grow more and more, she felt uneasy. It’s natural for a great man to be popular.

Sigh-.

Sigh-.

As Arian sighed, someone else sighed as well.

It was none other than Justia. She was thinking similar thoughts.

The two looked at each other and blinked. They could understand each other’s thoughts without having to speak.

At that moment.

“Kids, I’ll play with you again later. Let’s stop here for today.”

Franz said as he gently lowered the children to the ground.

Playing with the children wasn’t bothersome. It was just that I felt I was making Arian and Justia wait too long. I must have been frustrated enough to sigh.

“It’s a shame…”

“Next time, for sure…”

“Yes, next time, for sure.”

The children showed disappointed expressions, and seeing that, Franz felt uneasy.

But isn’t there an order to everything?

He couldn’t make Arian and Justia wait any longer. Both had their own matters to attend to.

“Then let’s go to Hera.”

Franz said this and tried to take a step forward.

But an unexpected answer came from Arian.

“I’ll play with the children a bit more. They seem disappointed, and it’s easier for the Tower Master to talk that way, isn’t it?”

“Are you sure?”

Of course, it would be great if Arian played with the children. But if it was a voluntary sacrifice, there was no need to go that far.

“Yes, I like children.”

Arian said this and approached the little elves.

“Kids, let’s play with me. I may not look like it, but I’m quite good at magic. I can show you something fun.”

Were they tempted by the word “fun”? The children began to focus on Arian.

It was the first time hearing that she liked children, but seeing her actions, it didn’t seem like a lie.

Franz took his eyes off Arian and looked at Justia.

“Then, Justia, you…”

“I’ll play with the children too. Actually, I like children.”

Did Justia like children…?

It was also the first time hearing that, but he decided not to care. If it was the two of them, it seemed okay to leave them with the elves.

Since Justia knew other elves, there wouldn’t be any misunderstandings.

Left alone, Franz took a step towards Hera’s house.

In fact, the reason the two said they would watch the children was to show Franz their domestic side. And it surprisingly worked well.

Because Franz’s affection for them had slightly increased.

Finally, Franz arrived in front of Hera’s house and knocked on the door. Soon, there was a sign of someone inside, and shortly after, the door opened.

“Yes, what is it…”

Hera, who met Franz’s eyes, couldn’t continue her words and froze stiffly.

“Hera, I’m sorry for coming suddenly…”

“J-just a moment-! Why so suddenly? Just wait a moment. It will really only take a moment.”

Hera, with wide eyes, hurriedly went inside.

Of course, Franz was just bewildered by her reaction.

‘I don’t know why she’s acting like this.’
